LRF has reached out to those who have benefited from new treatments funded by the Mantle Cell Research Initiative, and asked them to share their personal histories.  A diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma can be overwhelming at first.  The statistics (which are often out of date, as science forges ahead of record-keeping) look grim.  The treatment options initally seem limited.  Don't lose hope!  Patients from the LRF community have volunteered to share their experience with the disease - and the fact that they have defeated expectations, and come through treatment to enjoy renewed life and health.

Our first story is that of Mary Wright, who owes her current remission (2 years and counting!) to treatment administered by one of our previously featured researchers, Dr. Ajay Gopal.  To read about her diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, click here.
